The Kenyan community in Minnesota paid final tribute to Isaac Segera, a Kenyan-born U.S. Army soldier, during a memorial service held on March 22, 2026, at the Kenyan Community SDA Church, 6625 N Humboldt Ave, Brooklyn Center.

Segera, also known as Izzo or Isaac Onchana Segera, passed away on March 4, 2026. He was found unconscious at a bus station in Minneapolis and was rushed to hospital by Good Samaritans and emergency responders, but doctors could not save him.

Originally from Bonyakoni village in Ikonge, North Mugirango Constituency, Nyamira County, Kenya, Segera was remembered as a disciplined soldier, devoted family man, and proud Kenyan. He is survived by his wife and two children.

The sudden passing away shocked the Kenyan diaspora in the United States, who gathered to honor his memory and support the family. Efforts continue to repatriate his body to Kenya for burial.

The missing 20-year-old US Army soldier was killed by a fellow soldier the same day she disappeared, a family attorney, citing an investigation by the Army's Criminal Investigation Command, said in a statement to Army Times published Thursday

The attorney, Natalie Khawam, said she was briefed by Army investigators, who said US Army Spc. Vanessa Guillen was attacked by Aaron Robinson, a fellow soldier who was not within her chain of command, in an armory room at Fort Hood, Texas.

Robinson had used a hammer to attack Guillen, causing "her blood to be splashed all over the armory room," Khawam told Army Times. (Armory rooms are used to store military weapons.)
